As some of you may know, Miranda Kerr has written a book titled “Treasure Yourself”. It’s all about how you can improve your body, mind, and spirit. I personally think that this self help book is something that all women who have low self-esteem should read.
From reading this book, I have gained such a high respect for myself. Not only have I learned what amazing things positive affirmations can do for my confidence, but it has helped me understand myself better, as well as every individual around me.
Having said all of that, I have decided to share some of Miranda Kerr’s insights from the book with all of you.
“What you see in yourself is what you see in everyone else around you.”
“You could spend your whole life wishing you were someone else and never really appreciate the person you actually are and the things that you have to offer.”
“Strive to be the best you can be and focus on who are you in each moment.”
“Like a forest that grows back after a fire, there are always new developments taking place. Life happens in cycles; most challenging moments in your life will pass and a new phase of adventure will emerge.”
“Think of failure as education.”
“No one can dictate what I should or shouldn’t do or how I should behave….your opinion of you is all that matters.”
“It’s also important to remember not to lose who we are under the pressure to conform to social expectation of what’s acceptable.”
“A genuine smile is the most confident and attractive thing anyone can wear.”
“Some people are taught to believe that it’s better to be silent than to ‘rock the boat.’ But in my opinion you are worse off if you remain silent because you can find yourself squashing your own desires to accomodate others.”
“It’s important for us to learn to value ourselves enough to stand up for what we know is right and for what we want, otherwise we never get it.”
“There should be a balance in all things. It’s important not to be too passive and let people take advantage of or use you, but equally important being too aggressive or even begrudging will not serve your highest good.”
“Believing in our own capabilities also means knowing and having the means to rely on other sources for information and help if you cannot handle a situation completely on your own.”
“With passion comes belief and determination and a willingness to trust in your instincts.”
“If you go down one career path and then change to another, all that knowledge can add depth to what you are doing now, making your set of skills more unique. There is no such thing as knowledge wasted.”
“I think we need to come up with our own definition of success and not let others define it for us.”
“I believe success is when you feel content with who you are and what you offer to the world.”
“If you are trying to find out what you are passionate about, look closely at the life you already lead.”
“Passionate people feel alive with their unwavering sense of direction in life.”
“Our physical appearance is a major part of our sense of self, yet the defintion of beauty is constantly changing.”
“Beauty is not only physical, it’s a way of thinking about yourself – it comes from within”
“I am who I am, nothing more and nothing less, and so are you.”
“Give up ‘trying to look good’ or ‘trying to avoid looking bad’ and just be authentically who you really are, a new level of freedom and self-expression will emerge.”
“Style is how you express your unique individuality; it’s about the relationship you have with yourself. Fashion on the other hand, is all about the clothes and their relationship to the world or the moment.”
